"This work involves porting a mature software utility operating within a software environment that is no longer supported to a new technology platform," states Daniel Nagala, President of UTSI International Corporation. "The scope of our work is to move the application from its current legacy operating environment and enable it to function in a PC environment under the Windows XP operating system. One important goal of this work is to maintain all of the functionality and look and feel of the application in the new environment in a manner transparent to application users."
Mr. Rex Miller, Manager of the Information Technology Team at KMP's Plantation Pipeline stated that "We are very pleased to have UTSI perform this work for Kinder Morgan Energy Partners. Porting this application will complete our goal of eliminating dependency on the HP Alpha hardware platform in favor of HP's Itanium technology. By operating on the newer technology we can significantly increase the product life and long term reliability of our control and monitoring system."
